GUITAR SHORTY: Watch Your Back

He's today's leading black blues/rock guitar player. This is his first album for Alligator. With his aggressive style and his fat tone he should be able to attract European fans of hard rocking blues, also in Europe. But it wouldn't do him justice to reduce his abilities to flashy guitar solos. He's a tasteful player and writer of good songs. With this high-class release he should achieve cult status in good old Europe. This is my personal recommendation for all fans of great guitar blues, for fans of Luther Allison or Walter Trout alike. GUITAR SHORTY - gtr/voc, ELECTRIC VIC JOHNSON - rhythm gtr, JESSE HARMS - kbds, SWETT WILLIAM BOUCHARD - bass, ALVINO BENNETT - drums.
